Remington 1100 Question

[freedom-lover]

I am asking for a 12 ga, 2 3/4" 'black' semi shotgun for Christmas. I have found the Tac2 and Tac4 online. I like the 18" Tac2 barrel, but I like the look of the buttstock on the Tac4, but it has a 22" barrel. Can the Tac4 buttstock be installed on the Tac2? Also, what is the difference between the 11-87 and the 1100?

The main difference is the barrel. 11-87 barrels are pressure compensated and 1100 barrels are not. Thus the letters PC starting the serial number of the 11-87. And yes any 1100 12ga stock fits any 12ga 1100.

As a former tac 4 owner, though I liked the shotgun, ask santa for a versa max. Yes it is that much better.

That is a fact. Unlike the other semi-auto Remington shotguns the Versa Max will cycle every time. Only semi-auto shotgun I would take to a gun fight.

As a past user of an Remington 1100 Competition Master, for 3 gun, for 7 years, 3 good, 4 bad, as Aippi wrote, get the Versa Max. Most all shooters I know have switched to the Benelli or now the Versa Max.

Thanks guys. One thing - this is not going to be a competition gun; its purpose is just fun/SHTF. I checked out the Versa Max on the Remington website and it looks real nice, but also around $500 more than the regular 1100. Budget for this is around $7/800.

That extra money buys a whole lot of reliability. I still own on 1100 but if things got ugly it is not the one I will grab. Believe me your money is better spent on the versa max

You interested in selling your 1100?

I sold my tac 4. My other was a gift from my Father so no getting rid of that one. Looking at buying another Versa max
